STORIES FROM HEATHER

Only 18 Christmases

Oct 30, 2019

This is it. This is our last Christmas with all of our kids under the same roof. Oh my heart. Eighteen years have flown by. Our oldest, Jack, is a Senior in high school, so although he will likely be home at Christmastime in years to come, this is it with all of my babies in the nest. Here are a few snapshots (literally) of some of our family's Christmases... I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!! It's really crazy to see how much they have changed over the ...

A Clients Perspective: Fine Art Black and White

Aug 06, 2019

A Client's Perspective: Fine Art Black and White Last year, my husband and I celebrated 25 years of marriage. This, in and of itself, is a major milestone, but we looked around and quickly realized that it wasn’t the ONLY milestone our family was about to mark. In the fall our middle son would move to college for his freshman year, our oldest son would begin his last year, and our “baby girl” would start her senior year of high school. Change was happening ...

This year my parents, Ron & Pam Voth, celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It’s really quite an accomplishment when you think about it...FIFTY YEARS!

Simply White Portraits

Jun 06, 2019

Spaces that are light and bright, drenched in soft color, and warmed by accents of weathered wood and natural fibers…these are the design elements that define today’s Modern Farmhouse style and are the inspiration behind my new Simply White Portrait Collection. Can you imagine how a beautiful portrait of the family would make beautiful spaces like these so warm and personal? Combining a soft white background with a neutral palette of whites and grays and minimal ...

Touched by Breast Cancer

Oct 12, 2018

Over the years, I have been honored to create portraits for many families that celebrate and treasure the life they have been given. This month, I have been reflecting on a few families in particular. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I would be remiss to not celebrate some families who have been affected as well as overcome.These are just some of my clients that have breast cancer as part of their story, and all of them would encourage you ladies to go get a mammogram sooner than ...

She shared with me that one year earlier she had unexpectedly lost her husband of 17 years, the father of her four children. It was so heartbreaking, but yet I saw the ...

The Kirkpatrick Family

Jun 22, 2018

What a delight it was to create a custom art piece for Ron & Karen Kirkpatrick! They hadn't ever found the perfect piece to go over their fossil stone fireplace, so we created something from scratch. I started in their backyard in Norman when creating the Mixed-Media Painting of the family, among the trees they have planted, and where they play with the grandchildren. So many memories have happened there, and memories will continue to be made there as the grands grow. The individual ...
